Disney just invested over $1bn into Epic Games, and likely includes deals to use Disney characters in Epic games (like Fortnite)

saw this. Crazy big news. and to think theres people who still don’t see how big of a market videogames are.

Epic needs cash, Disney needs games. Makes sense.

Can’t wait to crank 90s with Mickey Mouse

Given Disney has already licensed IP to Fortnite and given Disney’s history with deals like this I think the ambition is much bigger. Also, bring Disney, I expect them to absolutely fumble this.

They already ran an extremely successful Thanos event in Fortnite so that aspect of the deal should be table stakes I think. The more interesting question is what new things they’ll do.

Kids go nuts for Peter Griffin on Fortnite yet have no understanding of the chicken fight, the banged knee, or the bird is the word.
